AIRBORN
It’s the Golden Age of Flight in 1929 and the world’s most daring female flyers are taking off in the first ever National Women’s Air Derby, a nine-day cross-country air race from Santa Monica, California to Cleveland, Ohio. Louise Thaden, a meticulous and skilled pilot and world record holder, is determined to beat Marvel Crosson, the new hot-shot rookie in town. But when she and the other pilots discover that the race is set up for them to fail, they must decide whether or not to put their lives on the line for the future of women in flight. Based on a true story.
